I Glrurrnn l ALMA MATER Alma Mater dear, we hail thee, . E Well beloved of old. While thy children 'round thee gather l-lear thy glories told. Alma.Mater, Alma Mater, Sing we praises free- Alma Mater, Alma Mater, We would learn of thee. ,Round about us, ere we knew thee, Towerecl thy cloistering wall: Thou didst point to Meliora, We obeyed thy call. Ever growing, ever brighter, Lead thy daughters on, I Till far distant climes and places Sing thy triumphs won. U61

529 Q Qlrnrrnn llgeal THE GENESEE Full many fair ancl famous streams Beneath the sun there be, Yet more to us than any seems Our own clear Genesee. We love her banks and stately falls, For to our mincls they bring Our clear old Alma lVlater's halls Where sweetest mem'ries cling. No casrled crags along her Way Romantic splenclors castg No fablecl or historic lay Recalls the golden past. But more than battlementecl Walls, Or legends they may bear, Are Alma lVlater's vine-clad halls And mem'ries ling'ring there. As Hovvs the river gatlfring force, Along her steadfast Way, May We along life's devious course Grow stronger clay by clay. And may our hearts, Where'er we roam, Forever loyal be To our beloved college home Beside the Genesee. U51

On such occasions it is gratifying to have a Croceus at hand. It has never as yet disappointed us. From its pages we have observed that all of the worth-while traditions of our Anderson Hall days have been perpetuated and many new ones inaugurated. We, the alumnae, are gratefully appreciative of the fact that the continually growing student body is contributing in increasing measure to the development of the ideal college. In our alumnae organization we lack the unity of purpose and daily association that stimulated our activities when we were working together. We are looking forward with great expectation to the time when the classes of 1921 and '22 shall join our ranks with the fervent hope that in spite of our scattered homes and diverging interests they may make us a more coherent and useful group of womeng an organization that will be a help and inspiration to you who are struggling with real problems as well as enjoying the pleasures of college life. The Cloisterf promises to be another delightful medium of exchange. It is difficult to predict just what our part in it shall be. At least we shall be a sympathetic audience. Without doubt, we shall profit by your idealism and spontaneous enthusiasm in desiring to bring 'isweetness and lighti' to the whole world. While the paper may not seduce many of us to leave our homes in order that we may become literary stars of the first magnitude, E171
